Page expired problem

[Melville]

I have a site that has a search function that returns a list of items the user can click on. If the user clicks on one of the items, it takes the user to a page for that item. It the user then clicks on the back button, s/he gets a generic message that the page has expired.

Similarly, if I put a back to search results button on the page with onclick=javascript: window.history.back();, I sometimes get the same page expired page.

Does anyone know why I am getting this and what I can do about it so that my user can click the back button and get the list of search results to re-display?

Thank you,

Mel

I think the reason you are getting that page is because you have form results posted there. I'm not sure if and how you can set it up to not expire, but in that case they would get a window asking them to resubmit the form anyways, what you can do is instead of displaying the output on the same page that recieves the form you can take in the form with page 1 and redirect to page 2 with a querystring that is used to output your search results. That way after clicking a result and pressing back the user wont get an expired page.

I would also like to know how this is done. I've seen some sites that work this way.
